Path Tracing Comes to DOOM: The Dark Ages, Plus DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation launching with FBC: Firebreak and a new GeForce Game Ready Driver
This week, DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and full ray tracing is launching in FBC: Firebreak, while DOOM: The Dark Ages receives a path tracing upgrade that adds DLSS Ray Reconstruction, amplifying image quality in the critically acclaimed shooter. NVIDIA is also releasing a new GeForce Game Ready Driver that includes day-zero support for FBC: Firebreak, DOOM: The Dark Ages' new update and REMATCH, a new multiplayer sports game featuring DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation. Remedy Entertainment's new three-player cooperative first-person shooter, FBC: Firebreak, is set in the same Federal Bureau of Control players reclaimed from supernatural invaders in the graphically spectacular Control. This time, as one of the FBC's fearless first responders, gamers and their teams are on call to confront everything from reality-warping Corrupted Items to otherworldly monsters, no matter the odds. FBC: Firebreak on PC features the full suite of RTX technology developed for Remedy's Alan Wake 2, giving GeForce RTX gamers the definitive PC gaming experience. Activate DLSS 4 for the highest levels of performance, enable DLSS Ray Reconstruction to enhance ray tracing fidelity and frame rates and crank the Ray Tracing Preset to max to enable full ray tracing. All GeForce RTX gamers benefit from NVIDIA RTX Mega Geometry when ray tracing is enabled, which reduces CPU and GPU Bounding Volume Hierarchies build and update times while also reducing VRAM consumption. On average, DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Ray Reconstruction multiply performance by 9.3X at 4K max settings on GeForce RTX 50 Series desktop GPUs. Gamers can play FBC: Firebreak with full ray tracing at almost 200 frames per second on the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, at nearly 250 frames per second on the GeForce RTX 5080 and at 360 frames per second on the GeForce RTX 5090, the fastest consumer gaming graphics card available. Bethesda Softworks and id Software are adding path tracing and DLSS Ray Reconstruction to DOOM: The Dark Ages on June 18th, making the battle against Hell all the more immersive. Path tracing takes the quality of ray-traced lighting to the next level, reflecting additional detail and game elements on surfaces. NVIDIA Spatial Hash Radiance Cache (SHaRC) technology is leveraged to performantly compute path-traced light, while NVIDIA Shader Execution Reordering further accelerates performance on GeForce RTX GPUs, and DLSS Ray Reconstruction further enhances image quality and performance. Using DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Ray Reconstruction, performance at 4K is multiplied by an average of 6.8X on the GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080, enabling Ultra Preset, path traced DOOM: The Dark Ages gameplay at up to 230 frames per second. Wired Productions and Caged Element's Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks is an action combat racing game that recently exited Early Access. Now, GeForce RTX gamers joining the high-Orktane racing will discover support for DLSS Super Resolution, significantly accelerating frame rates. Sloclap, creators of the critically acclaimed Sifu, are launching REMATCH on June 19th with Advanced Access available now via the purchase of Pro and Elite editions of the game. This 5v5 multiplayer football/soccer sports game sees players compete online in fast-paced, skill-based matches, free from offsides and fouls. When the game boots up, players can enable DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, DLSS Frame Generation and DLSS Super Resolution to accelerate the frame rates of each football match. Editor's Notes:

DOOM: The Dark Ages review… This cacophony of chaos impales itself firmly as a Game of the Year contender
HELL YEAH DOOM: The Dark Ages review… This cacophony of chaos impales itself firmly as a Game of the Year contender Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LIKE a beloved old pet dog, DOOM: The Ages is impossible to put down. It's a demonic drug, a hit of horrifying annihilation that makes you want more and more. Because it slays more than Taylor Swift in a glitter hat factory. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 10 Hell hath no fury... like a Doom Slayer with loads of guns Credit: Bethesda Softworks Care must always be taken when trying to improve a cult classic - and the original Doom rightfully belongs among the icons of gaming history. So it's a huge relief to see that idSoftware has not only been respectful in making this DOOM, they've also been really smart. But is The Dark Ages the best game since the original release? Hell yeah! 10 There's an impressive array of weaponry to dispatch demons with Credit: Bethesda Softworks First off, there's a more involved plot than previous follow-ups like DOOM (2016) and 2020's DOOM: Eternal. Read more Gaming News WHIPS DON'T LIE Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is out on the PS5 and is a rare gem You play the heavy-footed Doom Slayer called upon by the Night Sentinels of Argent D'Nur and the mysterious Maykrs in their battle against the dark forces of Hell. Your job? To save humanity. The Maykrs have a strange hold over the Slayer who gradually starts to think, and fight, on his own terms. Previous follow-ups to this mega franchise were decent nods to the original but they weren't truly great games. They lacked what makes a DOOM game utterly brilliant - an intense, mind-blowing run-and-gun experience which takes your breath away. Literally. The Dark Ages, however, achieves this in bundles. 10 The 22 chapters are bold and intense Credit: Bethesda Softworks Because you become so engrossed in dispatching the multitude of enemies spawning all around you that you forget to breathe. I lost count of the times where I finished a chapter (there are 22 to smash through), let out an exhausting breath… and noticed that I was two feet away from my gaming chair. Such is the intensity of The Dark Ages. 10 Jumping into a giant mech suit feels like Power Rangers but, you know, better Credit: Bethesda Softworks It's not just a blast and dash game either. This time round you have to be more tactically astute in your demon-slaying ways. The sheer number of enemies that bear down on you during battle is daunting, but this just increases the adrenaline rush you get when your planned destruction works. This immersive action results in hours lost wiping the floor with growling Pinky Riders and horrible Hell Knights. 10 Plan your battles wisely as you'll need to be smart as well as sharp Credit: Bethesda Softworks The arsenal is as kick-ass as it is clever. And each new weapon brings slightly different whoops of joy as you learn more about what can be achieved when you pull the trigger. For example, the Impaler is brilliant for headshots and once you get your upgrades to a certain point, it can then slow down time to get the perfect hit. 10 Enemies vary in difficulty and there are some cool close-up melee options Credit: Bethesda Softworks The Shredder can dispatch hordes of Imp Stalkers all at once and again, use your upgrades wisely, and it can auto-charge to a more destructive ammo when following a melee attack. 10 Saving humanity has never been so exhaustively exhilarating Credit: Bethesda Softworks But id Software's addition of a shield is a masterstroke - this can rip through multiple foes or deflect attacks. It's upgradable too and becomes an essential tool at your side. That is until you get the ball and chain - talk about an epic flail! Each chapter is gorgeous in its detail and impressive in scope. The map is easy to read and offers a clear pathway to cute collectables, gold chests and secret areas you won't want to miss in your 20+ hours of the game. 10 A banging soundtrack helps immerse you in the depths of Hell Credit: Bethesda Softworks Even the soundtrack is gloriously DOOM-esque. A head-banging barrage of heavy metal which delights the senses when blasted through decent headsets - I couldn't help but ramp up my Turtle Beach Stealth 700s to complete the experience. It all makes for an epic romp in Hell - you won't just dip your toes in the Lake of Fire, you'll want to go skinny-dipping and plunge in head-first. 10 A deep plot gives DOOM: The Dark Ages an extra edge over predecessors Credit: Bethesda Softworks The Dark Ages is intense - a cacophony of chaos that impales itself firmly as a Game of the Year contender. 10 A dragon! Yes, you can ride a dragon Credit: Bethesda Softworks
